Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome 2(BHD2)

MedGen UID:
1841312
Concept ID:
C5830676
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: BHD2
 
Gene (location): PRDM10 (11q24.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0800455
OMIM®: 620459

Definition

Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome-2 (BHD2) is characterized by lipomatosis and fibrofolliculomas as well as renal cell carcinoma and other cancers (van de Beek et al., 2023). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of BHD, see BHD1 (135150). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Clear cell carcinoma of kidney
MedGen UID:
76018
Concept ID:
C0279702
Neoplastic Process
A subtype of renal cell carcinoma thought to originate from mature renal tubular cells in the proximal tubule of the nehpron.
Fibrofolliculoma
MedGen UID:
138032
Concept ID:
C0346011
Neoplastic Process
Fibrofolliculoma is a clinically asymptomatic, 2-4 mm, skin-colored, dome-shaped smooth papule. It usually arises in the form of multiple lesions in adults in different areas such as the scalp, forehead, face, and neck. According to histology, the lesion is a fibrotic hamartoma characterized by infundibular epithelial proliferation and perifollicular fibrous proliferation.
Multiple lipomas
MedGen UID:
677074
Concept ID:
C0745730
Finding
The presence of multiple lipomas (a type of benign tissue made of fatty tissue).
Perifollicular fibroma
MedGen UID:
312363
Concept ID:
C1704236
Neoplastic Process
Perifollicular fibroma is a rare cutaneous hamartoma that shows differentiation in the connective tissue sheath of hair follicles. It can occur as a solitary papule or as multiple lesions. Histologically, the lesion consists of a concentric arrangement of cellular fibrous tissue around a normal hair follicle.
Pulmonary cyst
MedGen UID:
107790
Concept ID:
C0546483
Anatomical Abnormality
A round circumscribed space within a lung that is surrounded by an epithelial or fibrous wall of variable thickness. A cyst usually has a thin and regular wall (less than 2 mm) and contains air, although some may contain fluid.
